The Business Hours section allows the card owner to display the days and times when the business, office, professional, organization, or service is available.
Each day can be marked as:
For an open day, the user selects one From time and one To time. Days that are turned off appear as Closed.
Business Hours are different from appointment availability. Business Hours tell visitors when the business normally operates, while the Appointments section controls the exact days and time slots visitors can book.
From the dashboard:
The Business Hours option appears after Dynamic VCard and before QR Code Customization in the editor navigation.
On a phone or smaller screen, select the menu icon inside the editor to open the available VCard sections.
At the top of the Business Hours section, select the Week Format Type.
The available formats are:
Choose the order that matches how you want the weekly schedule presented to visitors.
Select this format when the normal business week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday.
This format is commonly used by businesses that organize their schedule around the weekday workweek.
Select this format when the week should begin on Sunday and end on Saturday.
This format is commonly used by businesses and organizations that follow a traditional calendar-week display.
The selected week format is saved with the digital card’s Business Hours information.
The Business Hours screen contains a row for each day:
Each row contains:
The time fields only appear when the day is enabled. When the day is disabled, the time fields are hidden and the system displays Closed.
Locate the day you want to configure and turn on its switch.
When the switch is turned on:
For example, to show that the business operates on Monday, turn on the switch beside Monday.
Use the From dropdown to select the time the business opens or begins offering services on that day.
Example:
Choose the actual time when visitors can reasonably expect the business to be available.
The exact time format displayed may follow the account’s configured time settings.
Use the To dropdown to select the time the business closes or stops offering services on that day.
Example:
The closing time must occur after the opening time.
A complete schedule may appear as:
The Business Hours interface provides one opening time and one closing time for each enabled day.
To identify a day as closed, turn off the switch beside that day.
When the switch is turned off:
For example, to mark Sunday as closed, leave the Sunday switch turned off.
Do not select opening and closing times for a day that should remain closed.
When the business operates the same hours Monday through Friday, configure each weekday separately.
Example:
Turn on Monday through Friday and choose the same From and To times for each day.
Leave Saturday and Sunday turned off.
Unlike the Appointments section, the Business Hours interface does not provide a copy-to-other-days control. Each day must be configured directly.
The opening and closing times do not need to be the same every day.
Example:
For each enabled day, select the appropriate From and To times.
This is useful for:
To display weekend availability, turn on the switch beside Saturday, Sunday, or both.
Select the opening and closing times for each enabled weekend day.
Example:
Weekend hours can be different from weekday hours.
The Business Hours screen requires a From and To selection for an enabled day.
For a business that operates continuously, choose the earliest available starting time and the latest available ending time for each open day.
Configure all seven days when the business operates every day.
After saving, review the public card to confirm that the schedule communicates the intended availability correctly.
The Business Hours section provides one continuous time range for each day.
For example, it can represent:
It does not provide separate morning and evening ranges within the same day, such as:
When a business operates split shifts, enter the primary operating range and use the card’s description, custom links, or another visible content section to explain the additional hours.
The separate Appointments section can also be used to create multiple bookable time periods when visitors need to schedule specific sessions.
Business Hours and Appointment Hours serve different purposes.
Business Hours tell visitors when the company or professional is normally open or available.
Example:
Appointment Hours control when visitors are permitted to schedule appointments.
Example:
A business may be open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM but only accept appointments during selected time slots.
Configure both sections when the card needs to display general operating hours and provide appointment booking.
After configuring the week format, open days, and operating times, select Save at the bottom of the page.
The system saves:
Wait for the success message before leaving the editor.
The Business Hours screen includes a Save button and a Discard button.
Select Discard to leave the Business Hours section without saving the current changes.
Discard does not delete the digital card. It returns the user to the VCards page while keeping the previously saved schedule.
Changes made since the last save will not be applied.
Business Hours can be changed at any time.
To update the schedule:
Previously enabled days appear with their saved time fields visible. Previously closed days appear with their switches turned off and the Closed indicator displayed.
The Business Hours section stores the regular weekly schedule. It does not provide a separate holiday calendar within this screen.
For a temporary closure:
A banner, announcement, blog post, or custom link can also be used to explain special holiday hours without replacing the regular weekly schedule.
After saving the schedule:
Check that the displayed schedule does not conflict with appointment availability, contact information, or written descriptions elsewhere on the card.
Make sure the From time occurs before the To time.
Incorrect:
Correct:
Selecting times is not enough if the day’s switch remains off. Turn on the day before saving.
Every enabled day should have both a From and To time.
Do not use Business Hours to represent only the limited periods during which appointments can be scheduled unless those are also the organization’s true operating hours.
Always select Save after changing the schedule.
Open the live card after saving to confirm that the schedule appears as expected.
Before completing the Business Hours section, confirm that:
At the end of this chapter, the user should understand how to select the weekly display format, enable open days, mark closed days, enter opening and closing times, save the schedule, update existing hours, and distinguish Business Hours from appointment-booking availability.
